MVJ Advocates For Diversifying Newsrooms By Hiring And Promoting Vets

Military Veterans in Journalism is a professional association that works to get more veterans into newsrooms. According to Census data, about seven percent of Americans have served in the Armed Forces, but only two percent of media workers have military backgrounds. And that's not MVJ's only mission. The group has launched an initiative to fight the disinformation aimed at military members and veterans by extremist groups. Broadcast Podcast team member Tom Young sat down with MVJ founder Zack Baddorf to discuss these issues on the latest episode of Update-1.
